Read & Write Pakistan

Read & Write Pakistan (R & RP) is the project of Pakistan Librarians Welfare Organization (PLWO) and it was founded on August 22, 2015 at Islamabad. Literal backwardness in Pakistan has resulted in the failure of Pakistan’s producing quality thinkers, philosophers, authors, and theologians. Such lack of emphasis on the literary growth marks questions on our prospects of our emerging has an inhabitant of renowned nation and at the same underlines the intellectual decadents of the masses. The culture of reading and writing is the bedrock of any nation’s educational system and any educational system that fails to provide the said culture is doing sheer injustice to the otherwise aspiring youth. The concept of falling in love with books as per interest and the manifestation of it through writing is something Pakistan badly needs at this stage. Realizing the essence and vitality of it, Read & Write Pakistan is dedicatedly working to encourage and promote the much-neglected area of reading culture in Pakistan. Reading habits are not given due status in Pakistan which has resulted in disarraying the minds of the young generation. The initiative “Read & Write Pakistan” is committed to make this oversight area, a priority, to stimulate reading habits in Pakistan through organizing different programs. The main purpose of this program is to engage more and more people in reading and writing habits in order to make Pakistan an intellectual place. Read & Write Pakistan since its inception initiating many programs, which are best serving its objectives. We started different campaigns and programs like Aao Aik Kitaab Parain, Reading demonstration programs, Mobile libraries and building community libraries across Pakistan, etc, which yielded the best results and helped us in the promotion of reading culture in Pakistan. We also started a very unique campaign Build Little Free Library Around You" in order to build a free book exchange program.
